Yes, “This paranoia is overdone” by this Economist article.
Just when the world economy is picking up paces again by virtue of economic growth of China, India and other emerging economies, the old British trick of playing up one against other is now in place in full swing as shown in this unbecoming Economist article, apparently in a devious effort to wishing China and India will slug out each other so as to stem and surpress their coming to the age, like staging a Roman gladiatorial games.
But this time, I am sure, post colonial Indians and Chinese will be smart enough not to be swayed by such chicanery of imputing one another, notwithstanding that they do have serious differences to work out, peacefully.
The joke is on this Economist article and what it stands for. (justlistenall)
